All new recruits are sent to one of four Naval Training Stations and after a training period they may take examinations for entrance Into Navy Trade Schools Those recruits who pass their examina tions with sufficiently high grades are sent to Navy Trade Schools before assignment to the fleet.

An “ash can” is a slang term ap plied to the depth charge used to combat submarines. The average “ash can” is a container tilled with approximately 300 pounds of T.N.T. and can be dropped over board from a ship and so con trolled as to explode at depths ranging from 36 to 300 feet. These are generally carried by the fast ships in the fleet, as a boat drop ping a charge regulated to ex plode at 70 feet depth must move away from the explosion area at a speed of 25 knots or more These “ash cans” are either rolled off the stern or shot from “y-guna” which hurl one right and one left simultaneously. ,
